This chapter contains safety instructions you must obey when you install, use, or do maintenance on the
machine. It also explains the safety decals on the machine.
1.1 Safety Instructions
YOU are responsible for the SAFE operation and maintenance of your machine. YOU must make sure that
you and anyone else who is going to operate, maintain or work in the vicinity of the machine knows all the
related SAFETY information in this manual.
YOU are the key to safety. Good safety practices protect you and the people around you. Make these
practices a working part of your safety program. Make sure that EVERYONE who operates, maintains or
works near the machine obeys the safety precautions. Do not risk injury or death by ignoring good safety
practices.
• Owners must train operators before they operate the machine. This training must be repeated at least
annually.
• The operator must read, understand and obey all safety and operating instructions in the manual.
• A person who has not read and understood all safety and operating instructions is not permitted to
operate the machine.
• Do not modify the equipment in any way. Unauthorized modification may impair the function and/or
safety and could affect the life of the equipment and persons.
• Only use approved spare parts and make sure that they are only installed by authorized technicians.
The hazards in the operating zone and working area pose a risk of fatal injury to
unauthorized persons.
Unauthorized persons who do not satisfy the requirements described herein are not
aware of the hazards in the work area. Unauthorized persons are therefore at risk of
serious or fatal injury.
• Keep unauthorized persons away from the operating zone and work area.
• If in doubt, approach unauthorized persons and ask them to leave the operating
zone and work area.
• Stop work as long as unauthorized persons are within the operating zone and work
area.
